One of the things i noticed about these truck journalists is that they only get to see and test these truck right from new, when the truck is new ,9/10 times the overall perception is very satisfactory regardless of the make, it would be nice to have another review probably 5 years down the line so that we see how tough they really are.

I didn't know Kenworth was still building a cabover. I guess it's just for Australia. It is very stylish in that design.

I think you are right ! In my eyes i see the kenworth that is "old"

where I work, we have 1980's Fords, 1980-2015 Internationals, 2010 Volvos, 2015-2017 Freightliners, and 2018-2019 Peterbuilts. The old Fords and Internationals are being kept and the the Volvo's are going to auction! We have 1 truck with a rust hole thru the frame! Any time I have to work on one I end up doing a lot of swearing!

Man kenworth needs to release a right hand drive in america. Thats a fine looking truck

In America our best most preferred trucks are the Kenworth W900L and Peterbilt 389

Both have strength and weaknesses. Kenworth more suited for long haul trips across the outback though rough roads while still being somewhat compact, Volvo more for journeys from Melbourne to Sydney and such that can be done in a couple days.

I like how they turned a 8 hour journey from Footscray to Marulan into a 15 second mini montage lol.

Wish I could get that K200 in the U.S. I have a Kenworth T680, absolutely love KW's esp with the Cummins engine. You can keep that auto and give me a 13 or 18 speed.

4 years later and they definentely brought back the XXL cab for volvo

Seeing this I really miss the Highway , and , have never driven a KW , Volvo yes , BDoubles , and singles and a triple !

Nothing looks tougher than a K series Kenworth, period!

US Volvo looks much better then those Euro Design Trucks, tiny Sleeper Cab, maybe Ok For Europe and their tiny Roads

Both stunning trucks. Would not complain working with either - and have in my driving career ( albeit earlier models) but I gotta say the new volvos are bloody nice Ps.. great KW rectified the hump cover over the engine

The quality of this production is super stupid good.

They're both beauties, but my personal preference based clearly on visual, goes with KW lines mostly, without rejecting at all the FH. I'm like 55-45%

The fact you both wanted the kw speaks volumes

I enjoyed the video!!

If you appreciate a big rig despite of its flaws, horse power and the brand itself it doesn't matter. Both rigs are unique in their own way and wouldn't mind driving either or..

I have driven both in older model but i loved the gear box of the old Volvo/White it was smooth.

Amazing footage! I miss Australia.

*Volvo* for the room as a driver, sitting or standing. Great vision, big windows and big mirrors. Quiet, smooth, refreshing and cool temperature to sit in. Great sound system and great storage. *K.W* For the Jacobs, the cab and the leather.

3:40 did he really need to be almost jammed under the trailer himself to guide that guy onto the 5th wheel ?

Having spent many a day picking up bits that broke / fell off Volvo's & Scanias out on the Tanami Track - the Kenworth is the easy winner of this comparison for me. In fact - I wouldn't even call it a comparison.

Hi, I'm interested in getting into truck driving as a long-term career having previously driven buses on a medium rigid licence on the mid-north coast of New South Wales and I plan to upgrade to a heavy combination licence to achieve this. Any tips on how I should go about kick-starting my career in this industry? Will my lack of experience as a truck driver be detrimental, or will my extensive bus driving experience help? I've seen advertisements for truck driving jobs but they all ask for people with experience driving trucks. How can you get that experience if you can't get a start? Also, how is trucking with regard to the availability of automatic transmissions? I ask, because I don't drive a manual transmission and haven't since I was about 16. Thanks in advance.

Back when there was only one bridge over the Clarence River at Harwood.

Hello. I'm curious why there is not Peterbilt trucks in Aussie? Peterbilt trucks are also equally popular and seems neck to neck with Kenworth. Both are American too.

There’s anyone know which one is powerful on the uphill with the load

Kw looks like an updated k100 even still uses body rivets? Still ahead of the old tech cabovers left over here in the USA.

I've driven both these trucks its really close the fh700 is a weapon also but something get pulling me towards the KW

What's the longest distances you have driven this non-stop?

I like that k200 a lot.

K200 all the way In Australia we see tons of them

love u KW

Tell 'em the price son!

Bom dia muito legal amei australia era meu sonho trabalhar la em um rodotrains

They are both being great, but the problem is by shrinking KW's head in North America or the same for Volvo by extending its head out it is difficult to compare both.

That kenworth is gorgeous

activate the subtitles I am Spain and I want to understand and enjoy more....

They make Kenworth (K-Whopper) and Volvo cabovers, but only in foreign countries and it is not available in the USA. Wonder they make Studebaker heavy duty cabovers in foreign countries. Someday there will be Studebaker cabovers in Australia.

why are the changing trailers ?

Volvo vs kenworth briga de gigantes 😎😯👍

i love both trucks they are awsome but i will go for the volvo...

Wheres the chrome visor mate

So the Volvo is a better truck and the KW is the better camper van

The Volvo comes with sweat pants and flip flops for the Driver!

Thanks for the look-see. I always smile w/nostalgia when I see a cabover (very rare in the US), but wouldn't wanna live in one, anymore. Too impractical.

Depending on truck, ISX 15 is doing around 7MPG. European spec Volvo is doing 7,5MPG but australian spec migh be different since US spec have other engines than EU specs have (i think AU version will share engines with US spec).

The Kenworth looks so damn good.

why we never find European trucks with long cabs? even if they are intended for the Australian market.

The Volvo bed pulls out to a king single. No mention of that.

Would have love to have known what the difference in weight between the two tractors, no doubt the KW will be heavier due to the bigger cab and bed etc etc... weight should be added to the load not the truck, I’m not saying that KW’s & Pete’s are ugly trucks but have to say that the Aussies and the Yanks are stuck in a feckin time warp.

i think the look of the kw is hreat wish they would go back to that style of truck

same in english...?

Kenworth more comfortable. maybe fuel consumption is the difference and automatic system. Driver's safety is more important

Why carnt Kenworth sell to the UK.

Every truck can pull. But not every truck is comfy.

as a european i love eu trucks and eu style especially dutch. but i understand why in outback guys use old kennys and older trucks. but i dont know why anyone should pick kenny over scania or volvo or other european brand if they drive on highways and city routes

How old is the Kenworth? 40 years old by the look of the exterior design?

I think the Kenworth looks nice but I have never driven one. I have driven Volvos and Scanias mostly in northern Scandinavia in extreme winter conditions. Currently, I drive a Freightliner Cascadia in Canada and USA and its an ok truck. Volvo is superior all trucks when it comes to roadhandling and power but they need to get that cab extendet. Not only for the looks but also for driver comfort.
